Track: Lightning Talk - Learning and Research
Authors: Dr. Rich Schultz
The National Geo Tech Center received a renewed NSF Grant in June 2013 and continues to blaze pathways for the establishment of a “gold-standard” for the GTCM and Model Courses in the area of geospatial technologies. To that end, Elmhurst College, as a national partner on the grant, offers a MOOC entitled “Digital Earth”, which uses modules composed of the skill sets identified in the GTCM. This lighting talk summaries the findings of the MOOC and how the information is used.
